It’s time for us to become self-reliant when it comes to vehicle manufacturing and not depend on foreign companies for engines. The playing field is level when it comes to electric drivetrains wherein we can manufacture our own inside our Camarines Norte special economic zones with the support of Governor Dong Padilla and PEZA.

Hopefully, our national government would support us this time with this endeavor so that we could finally build our own with scale and even export world-class electric vehicles in the near future. We can also generate thousands of direct employment and millions of indirect employment for our fellow Filipinos at home. It’s time for national industrialization! 🇵🇭🔋🔌⚡️
